This is absolutely disgusting. I thought that Canada was a progressive modern society that would not subscribe to animal cruelty. If you pass this legislation it will only undermine your position as a modern society. Read more

This proposal would lead to the legalized torture of wild animals. It’s completely disgusting and evil. Considering the small percentage of Ontario citizens that hunt with dogs, it makes you wonder why this is even up for debate. Please don’t allow this.

I find it unbelievable that in year 2023 we can pen wild animals and allow people to set their dogs on them for sport ,for fun . To train their dog to become used to doing that!! This has to to be the most barbaric thing I have ever heard .Why don't you allow bear baiting too . Read more

Having worked in the dog industry and continuing to write for canine publications, I must add my name to what I expect will be a long list of people opposed to this proposal. Canine sports are excellent for both people and dogs. Likewise, hunting is a part of Canadian history and national identity. Read more

I am appalled at the thought of this. Are we living in the dark ages? I will be contacting my Member of Parliament to object to this and sharing this with everyone to do my best to ensure this does not happen.

THIS idea is DISGUSTING! Been there, done that! There's a reason it was stopped. It is cruel to wild animals. In the 90s I lived on a farm in Flamborough and hunting dogs would fly through after a coyote and then RIP IT TO SHREDS when it could no longer go on! Not even a fight. Read more

Cruel and inhumane. We have real problems in our province, including a housing crisis and rising homelessness. Instead of facing those problems our government is proposing we go back in time to let sociopaths brutally kill helpless animals. Shameful.

Certainly this land will be treaty territory and actively harm Indigenous sovereignty and break treaty. The provincial government should be ready to take this to a federal level when it does, and meet Indigenous protests that will make difficult this expansion. Read more

I firmly reject the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry’s proposal to allow new licenses and the transfer of licenses for train and trial areas in Ontario. This is a barbaric, cruel and horrible practice which must cease in it's entirity and not be expanded. Read more

This is absolutely horrific! Not only should we not allow more facilities to open, the ones that existed before 1997 that were grandfathered in should be shut down immediately. Read more

I object to this proposal. Dogs should not be trained to hunt in this manner by using captive bait. This is unnatural and cruel. Penned dog hunting facilities are cruel to the wild animals used to train dogs to hunt. I am a resident and voter in Ontario.
